At long last I have the title for Book 3 of The Company series! The Company of Lies will be out in a couple of months, I’m not setting a firm date yet since I’ve got a lot going on. I’m almost finished with the outlining process, so hoping to start the actual writing very soon! I can’t wait to get back to Cady and Ethan and see what comes their way next. (hint: it’s not rainbows and unicorns)

Thanks to everyone who’s bought Trust Me When the Sun Goes Down so far, we’re hanging out at #7 on the hot new releases list for horror/occult on Amazon! I love hearing from you guys, so thanks to everyone who’s sent me a private message about how much you love the book! I’d love it if you all took the time to write up a quick review on Amazon or Goodreads, they’re so important to us indies. Believe it or not, the number of reviews you have can factor into how prominently Amazon places you, so please take a few minutes to give it a rating when you have the time.

Trust Me When the Sun Goes Down, book 8 in my Forged Bloodlines vampire series, is now available as an ebook for $3.99! We’re still working on the print proof, but it should be up in a couple of weeks.

“I couldn’t help but think we were finally over the worst of our troubles. I was such an idiot.”

The bad guy’s dead and gone, Jakob’s given Rob and Anja his blessing and left town, so everything should be smooth sailing, right? Right? Not so fast. Lodinn’s still wreaking havoc with their lives from beyond the grave as the search for Carys pulls Bishop and Jakob into the most unlikely of partnerships.

As Anja settles into her hard won bliss, she finds that things aren’t necessarily happy ever after as Rob’s mounting secrets begin to take their toll. All around her violence against humans is spilling into the city streets, threatening to expose vampires to human eyes and bringing vampire hunter Carter back into the picture. His direct but effective methods lead her to ask – is it wrong to kill a killer? Is there anything she can do to bring the violence to a halt apart from compelling the entire vampire community to her will?

When Bishop discovers Carys’ long lost diary, it holds the key to his past as well as Rob’s future. The burning question remains – is Carys really alive out there somewhere or was it merely a beautiful lie and Lodinn’s final revenge?

And can Anja survive a betrayal so deep it shakes her to the very core?

The first draft of Trust Me When the Sun Goes Down is done and off with my editing team now. This brings me to the question of picking a release date and whether or not to set up a pre-order period. I know a lot of readers like to do a pre-order because it lets you go ahead and get the book, and you don’t have to remember the release date, it’ll magically pop into your Kindle or whatever when it comes out. But Amazon and such require you to have the completed book to them ten days before the book goes live. So I’m thinking – wouldn’t you all just rather have the book ten days earlier?

I admit the last time I did a pre-order for Release Me When the Sun Goes Down, my overall sales numbers were down. The corresponding sales of other books was down as well (I usually see a bump in other sales when I have a new release out). It’s hard to tell if that’s because 30 days was too long of a pre-order period so it spread out my ranking too thin, or if people are getting tired of reading these suckers, or what.

What do you guys think? Would you rather I announce a release date, padding it with enough room to make sure I can have the book done in time and thus delaying the date by up to 10 days, or would you rather wait for it… wait for it… wait for it… go! When it’s live, but get it sooner?

Kiss the Witch Goodbye is now out in print! So, for all you out there who prefer to hold the physical book in your hands (and it’s very pretty!), you can buy it on Amazon.com here.

In other news…

There are only five days left to get the Paranormal Romance StoryBundle I’m a part of over on www.storybundle.com/romance. You set the price for how much you want to pay and you decide how much the authors earn. After it’s gone, it’s gone, and you won’t find this collection again.

And, the news everyone is keen to hear – Trust Me When the Sun Goes Down is chugging along well. I’m on day six of writing and I just hit the 25,000 word mark and Anja is having a Lord, beer me strength kind of day! Just wait ’til you see what Anja and friends are up to in this one! I can guarantee you’ll have at least one SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS moment.
